Is white rice a healthy option..? im a big fan of rice in any form... but i just decide to look at its health properties..
there i found that its not as healthy as i thought..
for instance one cup of instant white rice has around 165 calories,approx 4g of protien too per serving, has fewer vitamins and minerals as compared to brown rice.
Health Risks..
refined white rice has a higher glycemic index than brown rice..meaning it breaks down into glucose much quickly after eating compared to brown rice..
Foods with a high glycemic index can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes..( according to the harvard school of public health).
A harvard study showed that eating five or more helpings of white rice per week, increased the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 17 percent.. while those who ate 2 portions of brown rice per week reduced their risk by 11 percent.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
